"Do you even know where we're going?"
I turned to look at my best friend behind me and glared at him.
"Shut up, Jake. We're away, that's all that matters."
***
Imagine six foster children trying their hardest to make a new home work, all the while they are being horribly bullied by the very people they are supposed to call "parents". Well, this is the case for Lizzie and Jake. They are doing everything they can to stay together and take care of the younger children; Bella, Kevin, CJ, and baby Raelyn. But when nothing changes, Lizzie and Jake realize they aren't safe anymore. It's time to go.
Now the challenge is to try and survive on their own. With the limited money they had, what could they afford? How would they find a home? And, if it came down to it, who would hire two fifteen-year-olds like Lizzie and Jake?
In this story, you'll follow the journey of Lizzie, Jake, and the children as they try to make a home for themselves and stay away from their foster parents. I hope you come to love the characters as much as I do.
Author's Note: I'll try to update one chapter a week, but I may be delayed every once in a while. Please keep in mind that I work full time. Thanks, and hope you enjoy!

Highschool Sweethearts
Katelyn has been in and out of the foster system since her mother died when she was young. After her father gets put in jail again, she gets sent to live with the Thomas family. The Thomas's are a very well-off family with four boys. Their house is usually the main hangout for the boys and their friends. Kate hasn't ever lived with siblings before, let alone this many boys, so it's a big change for her. Daniel is your typical high school football player; he's got the looks, the muscles, talent, and even the overbearing dad who wants him to go pro. Daniel, however, really couldn't care less about a career in football, he loves the game, but it's his dad's dream for him to go pro, not his own. At least not anymore. He spends most of his free time away from his house and hanging out at either the Thomas or the Copperfield house. He can't wait to go off to college with his friends and get away from his dad and the stupid little town he grew up in. How will things change for them over the next year? This will be a series of 4, but the other books will be spin-offs and can be read as stand-alone books. They will, however, be published in chronological order. Full warning, this book is much shorter than I intend on making the spin-offs. I was planning on writing book two as the first in the series but found myself needing more of a prequel to all three other books, and so I chose to write something from their high school years. Bonus points for giving Daniel a love interest that was more than just a name.Complete
